Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 17, 1919.

Application led September 21, 1916. Serial No. 121,846.

To Va/.ZZ whom 'it may concern: l

Be it known that I, ALFRED T. SCHIL- LANDER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Toledo, Lucas county,

Ohio, haveinvented new and useful Tires,

of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to resilient load carrying devices. f

This invention has utility when lncorporated in tires, especially forthe wheels of motor vehiclesl for travel upon highways;

Referring to the drawings: p Figure 1 is a section through an embodlment of the device as adapted to a. motor vehicle tire, parts being broken away; and Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a fragment of the casing inclosing means of the devlce.

The wheel rim l may retain the-casing 2 as normally used for pneumatic tires. Disposed in this casing is the inner'tube comprising the outer fabric or canvas envelop 3 inclosing the yieldable crescent-shaped com-y position filler 4 which is a cast body housed between the fabric 3 and the inner fabric envelop 5, which envelops may be of heavy canvas.

Embraced by these envelops?) and 5, 1n a chamber of this tubular section not occupied by this yieldable filler 4, is the felt .armor 6 housing the pneumatic tube 7, which preclude crushing down of the casing upon the rim or for mj uring the casing or the pneumatic tube 7. Further, the'disposal and grouping of the armors and envelops is such that the structure affords effective resistance against punctures vor objectionable wear. A

v The yielding composition 4 provides a resistance well as distance means against the entrance of puncture causing substances. Thev envelops 3 and 5 of canvas provide "woven resistance While the felt armorl 6 is further effective as resistance to penetration. Accordingly, the rubber tube 7 j may be of long 'life and well protected against injury in a tire and the 'casing may not be subjected to severe crumpling, all' contributing to the length of life of the tire and incidentally to the reduction in upkeep of the tire and vehicle.

In the use of. the devicehereundei the resistance cast or composition 4-is disposed between the canvas envelop 3 and the canvas envelop 5. This article may be the article of'sale or in addition thereto the felt armor' 6 may be included. In ractice'the double ended inner tube 7 may e inserted deiiated in this unit device 3, 4, 5, 6, laced 'up in such inner tube protector, the unit disposed in the casin and then inflated. The deflation 'i of the tu 7 permits unit in the casing.

W'ha is claimed and it is desired to secure by Let rs Patent is:

A casing, and a tire inner tube unit for ,ready removable mounting in said casing,

said unit .embodying a pneumatic section,"

an enveloping felted section, a first fabric envelop therefor, a yieldable protector of crescent shape in cross section, said protector embracing the pneumatic section and Ikfirst fabric envelop, and a second fabric envelop for the felted section, first fabric envelop, pneumatic and protector sections, said.

second envelophaving an entrance opening permitting assembling of the sections longitudinally therethrough, and closure means for the opening to maintain assembly of the tire unit for mounting in the casing.

In witness whereof I aiix my signature.

ALFRED T.v SCHYLLANDER.
